Wisconsin RB John Clay ran for 1,396 yards and 16 TDs in the regular season, but he faces a tough test Tuesday night against Miami in the Champs Sports Bowl. Miami has been solid against the run all season, allowing an average of 118.3 yards per game. Who has the edge?[details]

A fireplug inside who has good girth for his size and is tightly wound, Sharpton exhibits impressive straight-line speed and has the range to make plays sideline to sideline. He generates a lot of power from his lower half and is a physical, secure tackler. He does a good job redirecting in space and gets up to speed quickly. However, the biggest concern with him is his lack of size. He's easily washed out of plays when run at and struggles to stack and shed blocks. Sharpton is limited to more of a Cover 2 scheme and might be more of a sub-package outside linebacker. He lacks the power to hold up inside the box as an every-down run defender, and he needs to play and in a Colts-style Cover 2 defense.
